Suttle Mindlin to design master plan for Jamestown Mall project

Suttle Mindlin said Tuesday it was hired by New York's Carlyle Development Group to develop a master plan for the redevelopment of Jamestown Mall in north St. Louis County.

The existing mall will be changed into a mixed-used center with three 120,000-square-foot office buildings and two senior living buildings on property nestled in a bend of Coldwater Creek. A bike and walking path will also be added.

Phase one of the $120 million plan includes the conversion of the former Dillard's department store, which is 215,000 square feet of vacant space, into back-office space. The plan also calls for the closing of 100,000 square feet of other retail space in the Dillard's wing.

St. Louis-based Suttle Mindlin is an architectural and planning practice specializing in retail, mixed-use, residential, hospitality, and commercial development projects.

New York-based Carlyle Development Group acquired Jamestown Mall from Richard E. Jacobs Cos. in May 2003. Carlyle Development Group was established in 1982 to acquire, develop and manage residential and commercial properties in the United States on behalf of foreign investors.
